Agri-Co Agricultural Services

Ostri-Co offers a comprehensive consulting service that covers all aspects of ostrich production:

• • Reproduction: breeder management and genetics
• • Hatchery management
• • Chick rearing: housing and management
• • Feedlotting / grazing
• • Nutrition / feed manufacturing
• • Veterinary aspects
• • Links to other ostrich businesses

We believe to work together with the ostrich producer as a team to supply them with the relevant knowledge and technical support to bring about a sustainable farming operation. It does not matter if you are only starting out or are already running an operation. We want to be involved on a continuous basis to minimize the risk (biosecurity) but also to optimize your production. If you only have one problem/question, we are also willing to be of assistance.
